The Pre beef difference

Pre does things a little differently. Firstly, our beef is 100% grass-fed and finished, without added antibiotics, hormones, or other harmful factory farm additives; that way you know what you are feeding your family! Our beef is raised on the open pastures, where cattle roam the land under the bright blue sky, drinking from clear creeks, and doing nothing but getting some sunshine and becoming delicious. Additionally, without the antibiotics or hormones, you can count on Pre beef to give you the vitamins and health benefits our bodies need. Want to learn more? Want to become a beef geek?
